Recipe Tips
If you’d like to add a bit more flavor to the stew, try adding a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce or a bit of Dijon mustard. You can also try adding a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar for a more intense flavor.
For a heartier stew, try adding a can of cannellini beans or some diced sweet potatoes. You can also add some diced bell peppers or zucchini for a bit of color and added nutrients.
If you’d like to make this stew a bit spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
